Why Choose Qualitest for Your Aging Oven Needs
Qualitest is a globally recognized supplier of advanced rubber, polymer, and materials-testing instruments, serving customers across more than 80 countries with one of the most comprehensive aging-oven portfolios available worldwide.
Three-Tier Portfolio — One Trusted Source
From the compact QualiAO™-BL1 benchtop for space-restricted laboratories, through the high-capacity QualiAO™-M1/L1 floor-standing units for production-volume aging, to the precision Gibitre-built Block Oven for hot-air and liquid-immersion test-tube aging — Qualitest offers a coordinated portfolio that matches every laboratory size, throughput, and compliance requirement.
Premium Gibitre Engineering
The Block Oven – Aging Oven is developed and manufactured at Gibitre's state-of-the-art facility in Italy. All mechanical components are crafted in-house using advanced CNC machines, components and sensors are sourced from reputable brands, and every production phase is overseen by internally trained personnel for unmatched build quality and measurement reliability.
Full International Standards Compliance
Qualitest aging ovens meet the most demanding global standards — ISO 188 (rubber accelerated aging and heat-resistance), ISO 1817 (effect of liquids), ASTM D471 (rubber property/effect of liquids), ASTM D865 (rubber deterioration by heating in air, test-tube enclosure), and EN 681-1 (elastomeric pipe-joint seals). Calibration certificates are traceable to primary standards.
Precision Temperature Control
Every QualiAO™ platform delivers high-precision PID temperature control, multi-point calibration, and consistent temperature distribution across the working volume — critical for repeatable aging results across long-duration test campaigns. The Block Oven uses PT 100 thermal probes for laboratory-grade thermal accuracy at 70 °C, 150 °C, 200 °C, and 250 °C.
Versatile Air + Liquid Aging
The Block Oven uniquely supports both hot-air aging (ASTM D865) and liquid-immersion aging (ASTM D471, ISO 1817) — with optional water-cooled reflux condensers attachable to each individual test tube, preventing volatile-liquid evaporation and maintaining test-fluid composition throughout long aging cycles.
Cost-Effective Value & Global Support
Qualitest delivers premium aging-oven performance at a transparent, competitive price point — backed by global service, training, ISO 1817 calibration support, spare parts, and accessories. With worldwide presence, expert support is always within reach.
